Molyneux Lists Fable 2's Imperfections

Molyneux Lists Fable 2's Imperfections
Written Thursday, October 09, 2008 by Dan Webb

With Fable 2 in touching distance, it's about right that Lionhead boss, Peter Molyneux, starts making the headlines and today is no different.

Speaking to VG247, Molyneux openly listed the imperfections of Fable 2 and it's this frankness and openess that we've all come to know from Molyneux.

"I wish we had two more bones in the top lip of each character so their mouths could form the words a little bit better. I wish they blinked more. I wish the sun’s God rays were a little less harsh in the early sunset. I wish the leaves were just fractionally smaller, because they tend to be a little bit large for trees" he said.

As far as we're concerned, if that's all that's wrong with Fable 2, it'll be a pretty good turnout. Is Mr Molyneux playing the role of the perfectionist again or can we chalk this down to more unsubstantiated hype?

Fable 2 will be released on October 21st in North America and the 24th in Europe.

I'm hoping this game is worth the wait, I loved Fable, and frankly the games of the past few months with a lot of hype have blown i.e. GTAIV, and Too Human.

Peter Molyneux is a respected man in my books. How many other game developers do you see listing everything they don't like about their own game? Don't worry, I'll wait.

And why is everybody getting so worked up about there not being any co-op upon launch? Is it to much to ask for you to wait a measly two weeks for it? The single player has so much to do that It'll probably take you more than two weeks to complete it.

False. Peter already said that was a fake rumour. Check out xbox360 fanboy for a full report on that. Least he promises it launching with online co-op.

I think Fable 2 will be over hyped like Fable 1 was. God that was a HUGE let down.

I'll play this game for a week when it comes out. Sadly Fallout 3 will take much of my time when that game comes out a week after Fable 2.

is no online co-op on day one not an imperfection? Truth be told, I'm buying far cry 2 and renting this.

I already preordered it and am excited for it...@ #10, you are a moron.

Why don't they make the Live work at launch and have us wait a little more. Rather than having us wait.

I wasn't excited about online co-op for this game, anyway. I'll enjoy the single-player aspect of the game.

Why does Microsoft let this fuck bag talk? He always sounds like a total douche.

Why don't all you people complaining about lack of co-op at launch read post number 7?Or here, let me post it for your lazy asses instead, then you can come down to the latest comment to see!

i can't belive ppl wouldnt get this even if it didnt launch with online co-op.

I wouldnt consider xbox360fanboy a reliable source of information. Gamerscoreblog.com is a much more reliable source since they are basically Microsoft. They say no co-op at launch, then thats what it will be.

Molyneux says he hopes for a pacth on day one, but cannnot confirm that it will actually happen. he does not say it will ship with co-op.

Well, at least they'll know what to work on for Fable 3. Let's just hope they start soon after the release of the updates to fix the current issues at hand.

I agree with 8. It was terribly easy and short as hell. I'll skip this for now.

Because you'd be waiting the same amount of time, let it go.

The game looks outstanding, I will pick this up on release.

If they do hold of co-op or release a patch on launch to fix whatever and enable it.... Doesn't matter to me, I would be getting this game even if there never would be co-op.

#28 is a genius. Too bad the kid won't read or understand what you said and still bitch and make the game lose sales. And for everyone one kid, there's a thousand others.

This game will be great! God..its a great time to be a 360 owner..

Fable 2, Fallout 3, Banjo Kazooie N&B, Banjo Kazooie (Arcade), Gears of War 2..

And surprisingly enough, I want the new Silent Hill game too.

Oh thank god my birthday and christmas aren't all that far away!! *But I am buying Fable, Fallout and N&B already on pre-orders..so w00t*

I am still trying to decide if I want to cancel my pre-order of the L.E. version since everything got cut out if it except the DLC. Will the DLC be sold at a later date (if at all) for $10 or less? Argh... decisions, decisions. Fable II will still be a single player game to me with the option to have co-op rather than a co-op game that can be played solo so its cool if I have to wait for co-op.

Just a quick note for people who aren't getting it because co-op isn't ready at launch...

According to reports co-op WILL be ready for launch, it just won't on the disc. There will be an auto update on launch day.

I don't believe him. He's obviously a biased dev who's trying to cover his ass. He's been the holder of two previous let-downs (Fable and Pub Games). I will wait until professionals review this game.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
